The effective temperature of the Sun (5778 kelvins) is the temperature a black body of the same size must have to yield the same total emissive power.. The effective temperature of a star is the temperature of a black body with the same luminosity per surface area (F Bol) as the star and is defined according to the Stefan–Boltzmann law F Bol = σT eff 4.
For a black body (a perfect absorber) there is no reflected radiation, and so the spectral radiance is entirely due to emission. In addition, a black body is a diffuse emitter (its emission is independent of direction). Blackbody radiation becomes a visible glow of light if the temperature of the object is high enough. [19]
The Sun closely approximates a black-body radiator. The effective temperature, defined by the total radiative power per square unit, is 5772 K. [12] The color temperature of sunlight above the atmosphere is about 5900 K. [13] The Sun may appear red, orange, yellow, or white from Earth, depending on its position in the sky.
Shorty’s Diner on Duval Street was a favorite of President Harry Truman, who walked to breakfast when he stayed at the Little White House in Key West. Shorty’s closed in 1989. Miami Herald File
A black body or blackbody is an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence. The radiation emitted by a black body in thermal equilibrium with its environment is called black-body radiation. The name "black body" is given because it absorbs all colors of light.
Key West’s 10-day Fantasy Fest masking and costuming festival gets underway Friday, Oct. 21, with a full slate of events, the first full festival since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020.
The table on the right shows how the radiation of a black body at this temperature is partitioned, and also how sunlight is partitioned for comparison. Also for comparison a planet modeled as a black body is shown, radiating at a nominal 288 K (15 °C) as a representative value of the Earth's highly variable temperature.
